Old SNK commercials

Lately, when I pull out my PS2 and fire it up, the games I'm most in the mood to play tend to be Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and Fatal Fury 3.  Why?  Not sure.  FF3 in particular seems to be considerably dated in look and control.  But for some reason, I quite like it.  I think it's somehow really familiar feeling; classic, with cozy, nice backgrounds and a decent story (even if it doesn't always translate well.)  I'll be the first to admit that from a technical aspect, it really doesn't hold up well next to newer games, but somehow it's just fun for reasons that I can't very well explain.

Anyway, while poking around youtube, I found this interesting commercial that SNK released in Japan to support the release of the game.  I don't know for sure why Terry is a scrawny, skinny kind of punk, but the idea of the commercial, at least, is still really cool.  Check it out.
